Sean McVay: Aaron Donald 'thinking about' potential return but still going 'through his process'

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed on July 23, 2026, that retired defensive tackle Aaron Donald is actively considering an NFL comeback, saying Donald is 'thinking about' a return and 'going through his process.' Donald, a 10-time Pro Bowler and three-time Defensive Player of the Year, has been away from football for two years. Speculation about his return intensified following the Rams' trade for Myles Garrett, though no firm decision has been announced.
